I felt compelled to write a follow-up entry to my Dec 27th one on religious trauma, particularly in reference to the Christian Purity Movement. Over the past few months, I’ve had a few conversations with parents about what to teach children instead of the shame-based curriculum that’s so prevalent in religious settings. This is interestingContinue reading “Religious trauma part 2”

These pictures are from a store in downtown Austin called Succulent Native. I didn’t tag it because the thoughts expressed in this post aren’t reflective of the store owner or staff (just to be clear) 🙃 I do highly recommend stopping in if you’re ever in the area, though 🪷✨️ A few thoughts for peopleContinue reading “Staying open”

In this week’s edition of “Everything is fake, evil, and trying to kill us. ..” Jk, but seriously 🙃🤦‍♀️ Music has frequency! It can either help us heal or detract from our life force. This post is speaking specifically about 444hz, which has been shown to calm the nervous system & elicit a healing responseContinue reading “The frequency of music”

The mistreatment -particularly the silencing- of women throughout history has been really up for me the past month or so, to the point where I’ve had visceral responses to a recent non-fiction book, discussion of a TV show I haven’t seen (HT), or just little triggers that have popped up in my daily life. WhileContinue reading “Ancestral wisdom coming through”

I have a flexible day and was hoping to finish the blog entries I mentioned last week. It seems that the quickest way to ensure I never revisit a topic is to sign off with “more to come,” or “stay tuned.” 😂 Neurodivergent people: is this what they mean by PDA, or pathological demand avoidance-Continue reading “Our natural state”

“You are my Ayahuasca.” This line came to me last year in reference to someone I was dating. We joked that our time together was like a psychedelic experience in that we could be really intense, would require time to integrate, and would usually emerge stronger and seemingly upgraded as a result of our timeContinue reading “On travel, gridwork, and soul braids”

Thank you to everyone who’s already read and responded to my IG and FB post from last night. It’s barely been up 8 hours, and I’ve already received such encouraging feedback. It’s not that I’m a stranger to speaking my truth or addressing the more difficult topics, but we can only speak from where weContinue reading “Spiritual bypass and arrested development”

These two books go in depth about religious trauma, particularly where womens’ bodies are concerned. The second one is specifically about the Evangelical Christian Purity Movement that peaked in the early 2000’s. I’ve been looking at this really critically since 2018, but treaded pretty lightly in my discussions with others. Not only because it wasContinue reading “Religious trauma”

Featured here: my obsidian arrowhead. I purchased it at a crystal shop named @shinythingsforshinypeople in Austin after @monicanaglerspaces telling me about an oracle card called obsidian sword that was about speaking our truth. The shop is also where I met my new friend Whitney, but more about that later 😉 As I’m saying this, IContinue reading “Holiday update”

I attended an online seminar a few weeks ago on Sacred Union, and have found myself thinking about it ever since. ..only to realize it’s actually been on my 🫀and 🧠 for a few months now 🙃 I looked back at some notes I’d typed into my very sophisticated Notepad app following a plant medicineContinue reading “Sacred Union”
